Introduction

After last month’s news about Mario Galaxy’s launch date the team gave us a diary of the 37 days until the game’s launch. They also had another look at Mario Kart Wii as well as plenty of new games from the Tokyo Game Show.

The big review this month was Link's first new DS game, with Phantom Hourglass scoring 95%. There was little on Wii to celebrate, with Tiger Woods 08 and NBA live 08 both scoring 70%. The only other game of real note was Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles on Japanese DS, scoring 81%.

The feature this month looked at gaming adverts and how to get them right, whilst world of nintendo looked at Zelda’s history in numbers as well as a brief guide to MySims. They also looked in more depth at the Mario Galaxy planet they had built to celebrate the game. In download was another great developer - Taito, as well as a look at the recently launched Sin and Punishment on the Wii’s virtual console.
